Different, but very good. I should add that this whole recipe rides pretty much on the quality of the baked beans used, because that's where most of the flavor comes from. I used leftover homemade baked beans that were made with bacon. I used turkey smoked sausage just to lighten the fat a bit. Great use for leftovers! Thanx!

I live in Sugar Land, Texas. I love to try new recipes. My husband jokes that if he likes something, I never make it again for 6 months! My children are very picky, but do have their favorites that I try to include in our menu more often than every 6 months.
